No 3 years Tax Returns, would this cause problem for my CR1 Intervview?

[kpop 0]

Hi all,

My husband has just started his career last November (makes 55k) and no 3 years tax returns to provide for the interview if they asks it. would this be a potential problem during the interview? i'm getting really stressed over it because people saying that it's up to the Consular to decide even though NVC didn't require it.

We've provided written explanation why he didn't file tax to the NVC and our case completed, we have no kids.

As long as you have a written explanation as to why you were not required to file, you shouldn't have a problem.

Hi Ryan,

is that mean that no need to show any tax returns at all during the interview as long as the petitioner's income above the poverty line? someone said that had to find co-sponsor if no tax returns to show even though the current income is well above property guildines. i'm very confused. help pls

I think you will be fine- your husband can show over 6 months of solid employment and paystubs, so that is a good "track record".

Now, if his new carreer is being self-employed, it may be different- they usually want at least one tax return then.

No need to stress out at all. When it comes to I-864, then consular officers weigh more to the current income than past ones. Many people don't work as being students or something else, nor there is any requirement for having worked for the last 3 years. Having said that there is no need to submit ANYTHING from the last 3 years since you guys have nothing anyway. Ok. Just submit last 6 months' paystubs AND if possible an employment letter stating the occupation of your husband, his salary, since when he has started this job and whether or not this job be permanent. Trust me, you guys would be more than fine as I have already said that consular officers are told to weigh more of the current job than past ones. Good luck.

Hi kpop I know what you are feeling right now, I had to use joint sponsor because I got a checklist due to insufficient income on my husband last work year, now my p4 is requesting tax returns from my husband and we only have a print out from turbo tax showing he filed his taxes in April, but I have all the joint sponsor tax returns.

From all that I have read trying to solve my problem I don't think you will have a problem because you have gotten this far with what you sent in to the nvc, this stage is to clarify what u have sent in, good luck

I am still trying to figure mine out
